Wine grape growers in South Australia's Riverland don't believe they are wasting water to produce wine grapes.

Chris Byrne, executive officer of the Riverland Wine Grape Growers' Association, says wine grapes make up 59 per cent of the Riverland's horticulture production, and the proposed Murray-Darling Basin Authority water caps will not help recovery in the region.
